Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    But now I see I was not plucked for naught,
    And after in life’s vase
    Of glass set while I might survive,
    But by a kind hand brought
    Alive
    To a strange place.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still;
    The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill;
    The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call;
    The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all.
    Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)

    Then a soldier,
    Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
    Jealous in honor, sudden, and quick in quarrel,
    Seeking the bubble reputation
    Even in the cannon’s mouth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
